What’s the meaning of this?

Jn. 13: 3-5,12
Jesus, knowing and fully aware that the Father had put everything into His hands,

and that He had come from God and was now returning to God, [knowing there was a ‘plan’ in place by God that would turn out just as He intended it]

Got up from supper, [just as He had previously risen from His throne of glory]

took off His garments, [just as He had laid aside His glory when He came into the world in the fleshly state]

and taking a [servant's] towel, He fastened it around His waist. [taking the nature and role of a slave]

Then He poured water into the washbasin [just as in a few hours He was to pour out His own blood in death]

and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. [picturing the very act of applying the cleansing of His own blood to human lives]

So when He had finished washing their feet

and had put on His garments

and had sat down again, [just as after He had provided cleansing for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven]

He said to them,

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I’VE DONE TO YOU?

Pray the Word:

Lord, shall we doubt Your love for us? By showing the disciples the WHOLE MEANING OF YOUR MINISTRY, You have shown us that by rising from Your throne of glory, laying aside the right of Your own deity, taking the form of a servant, pouring out Your blood, and resuming Your place at the Father's right hand . . . . we have redemption [salvation – deliverance - liberation] and the right to become children of God and call Him, Father! WHAT IS THE MEAING OF ALL THIS? . . . . NO MORE ORPHANS!
